IMAGE CAPTURE DEVICE WITH MULTIPLE PROTOCOL WIRELESS TRANSMISSION

摘要

An image capture device is provided which is able to wirelessly communicate with external devices using multiple communications protocols. At least one image is acquired and stored by the image capture device. The image capture device than negotiates with the external device to establish basic communications parameters and attempts to communicate with the external device in a first communications protocol. If unsuccessful, the image capture device attempts to communicate with the external device in at least a second communications protocol. If successful, the image is transferred to the external device. If unsuccessful, the image capture device may, optionally, attempt to communicate with the external device in additional different communication protocols. The present image capture device can communicate with a wide variety of device types presently understanding different transmission protocols.
